RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, as follows: (1) Cancellation Agreement #27-924-5 with Animate Consulting LLC (dba Animate Behavior LLC), a limited liability company, effective at the end of business on March 31, 2022; and (2) Contract #27-924-6 with Animate Consulting LLC (dba Animate Behavior LLC), a limited liability company, in an amount not to exceed $1,500,000, to provide applied behavioral analysis (ABA) services for Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) members, for the period from April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $1,500,000 over a 2-year period and will be funded 100% by CCHP Enterprise Fund II revenues. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

CCHP has an obligation to provide certain specialized behavioral health care treatment services for its members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County. This contractor has been in the CCHP Provider Network providing ABA services since December 1, 2013.

On January 18, 2022, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #27-924-4 with Animate Consulting LLC (dba Animate Behavior), in an amount not to exceed $900,000 for the provision of ABA services for CCHP members, for the period from December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2024.

Due to the new ABA Medi-Cal and Commercial Member rates and in accordance with the General Conditions Paragraph 5 (Termination) of the contract, the department and contractor have agreed to a mutual cancellation of this contract. Approval of Cancellation Agreement #27-924-5 will accomplish this termination.

Approval of Contract #27-924-6 will allow the contractor to continue providing ABA services with the new ABA Medi-Cal and Commercial Member rates under the new contract term of April 1, 2022 through March 31, 2024.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, certain specialized ABA services for CCHP members under the terms of their Individual and Group Health Plan membership contracts with the County will not be provided.
